"Later, Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan summoned the United States Ambassador to Beijing, Adm. Joseph Prueher, to his office for an official dressing down. According to the Chinese news agency account of the meeting, he said that the United States "has displayed an arrogant air, used lame arguments, confounded right and wrong and made groundless accusations against China.""

"Lame" arguments?

Did the Chinese really say 'lame'? I don't think they're cool enough to use a word like 'lame'.posted by jrbender at 4:04 PM on April 4, 2001

They did and they have every right.
It was lame.

Never the less, if Tang has a personal problem with this I'm on Drippy's TFC2 every night around nine-ish, and if he was really interested in talking about llamas we could address the issue then.
